SUMMARY OF THF INVFNTION

The main objective of the invention is to provide a game system that canprovide fair competition and entertainment simultaneously.

The game system has a random sampling game machine, a main controller,multiple user interfaces and a displaying interface. The main controlleris electrically connected to the random sampling game machine to receiveoperational result singles sent from the random sampling game machineand to calculate results based on operation result singles sent from therandom sampling game machine and generate human type images based on thecalculated results. The multiple user interfaces are electricallyconnected to the main controller for inputting singles and displayingthe calculated results generated by the main controller. The displayinginterface is electrically connected to the main controller and facingthe user interfaces to show the human type images provided by the maincontroller.

Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention willbecome more apparent from the following detailed description when takenin conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a game system in accordance with thepresent invention comprises a random sampling game machine (10), a maincontroller (12), multiple user interfaces (14) and a displayinginterface (16). The random sampling game machine (10) may be a Bingomachine, a Lottery Machine, a Ball drawing machine for random samplingballs to keep from cheat and provide a fair competition to users.

The main controller (12) is electrically connected to the randomsampling game machine (10) to receive operation results singles sentfrom the random sampling game machine (10) and to calculate resultsbased on the operation result singles sent from the random sampling gamemachine (10) and generate human type images based on the calculatedresults. In optional embodiments, the main controller (12) can bedirectly mounted on the game machine (10) or is separated from andconnected with the game machine (10) with cable, Internet or Intranet.

The user interfaces (14) are electrically connected to the maincontroller (12) for inputting singles and displaying the calculatedresults generated by the main controller (12). The user interfaces (14)may have a keyboard with multiple keys to allow users to select games orplace stakes and a display to show information abut games, results orplayer's score to the users.

With further reference to FIG. 3, the displaying interface (16) iselectrically connected to the main controller (12) and facing the userinterfaces (14) to show the operation results of the game machine (10)and the calculated results and the human type images (20) provided bythe main controller (12) to the users. The displaying interface (16) hasat least one display panel facing the user interfaces (14) fordisplaying the operation results, the calculated results and the humantype images (20). With the displaying interface (16), the human typeimages (20) provided by the main controller (12) can show motions ofdealing or the like. In optional embodiments, the human type images (20)shown on the displaying interface (16) can be images pre-recorded byreal humans or human type or cartoon type animation created by computerprogram

Accordingly, because a game is processed with the game machine (10), afair competition is provided and cheat is prevented. At this time, thedisplaying interface (16) shows processes and results of the game withhuman type images (20), so this can provide a friendly sense of realityof playing with real humans to the users and the entertainment ofplaying games is improved.

With reference to FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, in alternative embodiments, the userinterfaces (14,14′) are arranged in multiple rows or a single row andthe displaying interface (16,16′) is arranged in front of the userinterfaces (14,14′). The displaying interface (16) has a displayingpanel mounted on one side of the displaying interface and facing theuser interfaces (14). The user interfaces (14′) may be arranged in twosections and each section comprises multiple user interfaces (14′)arranged in at least one row and facing the user interfaces (14′) in theother section. The displaying interface (16′) is arranged between thesections of the user interfaces (14′) and has two sides facingrespectively to the sections of the user interfaces (14′). Thedisplaying interface (16′) has two display panels mounted respectivelyon the sides of the displaying interface (16′). Accordingly, the userand displaying interfaces (14,14′,16,16′) can be arranged in differenttypes based on the space for the game system and needs of the users, andthe arrangement and use of the game system in accordance with thepresent invention is versatile and variable.

With reference to FIG. 6, the game system may have multiple displayinginterfaces (16) electrically connected to a single game machine (10) toallow multiple sets of users playing games with the single game machine(10). Thus, the versatility of using the game machine is enhanced.

In addition, because the game machine (10), the main controller (12),the user interfaces (14) and the displaying interfaces (16) can beconnected with cables, Internet or Intranet, the game machine (10) thatgenerates loud noise can be arranged in a place far away from the userinterfaces (14). This can make the users playing games to leave far awayfrom noise source, and a comfortable space for playing game is provided.

With reference to FIGS. 1, 3 and 7, a method for displaying images (20)on a displaying interface comprising acts of:

a) starting and operating a random sampling game machine (10);

b) sending operation result singles of the random sampling game machine(10) to a main controller (12);

c) calculating results based on the operation results of the randomsampling game machine (10) and generating human type images (20) basedon the calculated results;

d) showing human type images (20) generated by the main controller (12)on a displaying interface (16); and

2) sending and showing calculated results by the main controller (12) onmultiple user interfaces (14).

With such a method, the displaying interface (16) can show human typeimages (20) provided by the main controller (12) to users playing thegame, and the sense of reality and entertainment of playing gamblinggames are improved.
